    I actually could see the Mariners coming away with him.
  2. Abomination
    Even creepier when it's a teen asking you for the picture
  3. Abomination
    The commentary and rumors that come with the bids might be worth it though.
  4. Abomination
    I don't know, but I'll take one of those lawnmowers and figure the rest out later

    Reading between the lines here, I'd say it means that Rogers is happy with the tv numbers and worried about physical butts in the seats next year.

    Hard to complain at all about a minor league signing, but Marcum's velocity is almost at Buehrle level now. Combine that with the injury issues and reports of other things, I'm not sure he'd be any kind of improvement over the kids we have. AAA rotation appears that it's going to be pretty stacked as it is already.
  7. Abomination
    Yeah, I know. It still looks hilarious though.

    Wada could be a rather interesting option to take a flier on.
  9. Abomination
    The vesting option is a reasonable price, so I don't mind that. The no trade would be a larger issue.

    Heh, I LOVE the steamer prediction for his rate stats, given it only expects one plate appearance!

    Math courses too. I marked and ran labs for a few, and I can't tell you how disturbing it was to see finance majors who were incapable of doing McDonalds skill testing questions.
  12. Abomination
    You may find courses you liked in HS you hate in university, and vice versa. Sometimes the teacher / prof makes all the difference too. I agree with kcjaysfan, some of the courses I enjoyed the most were physics, and I wasn't a physics major (I took a number of them for fun, seriously). Also, the boundary between some of the upper level math and physics courses kind of gets muddied. Whether you consider a course math or physics is often determined by whether you focus more on the underlying equations or more on the physical interpretation. Also, remember that each field has many different branches. Some of those branches you may detest, and some you may absolutely love. In HS you don't really get to see them.

    I actually found that first term at university wasn't too different from HS in terms of difficulty (well, physics was taught a little different since the HS courses used no calculus). The second term though, THAT was a shock.
  14. Abomination
    Yeah, I was actually kind of thinking that you might have trouble condensing it that far.

    Killing myself laughing as I picture Spanky with an Hello Kitty pillow...
  16. Abomination
    Now THAT is a paper. Nice topic too.
  17. Abomination
    They absolutely do. I love the way Rasmus in particular plays and does it, however at the same time I agree with you that it shouldn't be part of the game.
  18. Abomination
    lmao!
  19. Abomination
    Lol, sorry. Get back to your paper. That's far more important.
  20. Abomination
    You sure?
  21. Abomination
    Lol, you aren't helping
  22. Abomination
    I said they were both just as valid a position based on a SSS, not equally ridiculous. Regardless, the point is that pointing to a guy's stats in a (VERY) small sample size is idiotic, as you can find examples of horrible stretches for even the best player on the planet. It's just stupid to keep repeatedly bringing it up and laughing at him for it, while trying to draw a conclusion off of it. Sorry, bit of a pet peeve for me.
  23. Abomination
    Of course he isn't (but he's not a 33 wRC+ guy either). Cherry picking the stat on Trout is just as valid as doing it on Goins. They're both ridiculous.
  24. Abomination
    How about looking at Trout's 2011 September / October with his 39 wRC+? I mean, if we're going to be derping with all these ridiculous cherry-picked SSS stats ...
  25. Abomination
    Goins showed pretty consistent walk rates in the minors, so I doubt we'll see that kind of ratio over the course of a season.
